My Ableton is completely knackered since 10.7/8.2.8

Post by sandbags » Wed Feb 29, 2012 10:28 am

Since I updated to OS X 10.7 and Live 8.2.8 Live has been completely broken for me.

Mostly what happens is that it runs but it's window is frozen. So, for example, say I click on the transport start button, the transport starts and the track plays but the transport counter doesn't move, the track monitors don't show output, clips don't appear to be running etc... I can't toggle between Session & Arrange views.

I discovered that toggling back and forth between Full Screen mode seems to unjam the window and it'll remain normal at least until switch to another app and back. So now I'm into a fullscreen toggle on/off dance which I can live with.

Except today even that's not working. Live is playing but completely frozen.

Anyone else come across this problem?

I deleted my preferences the first time this happened and it didn't seem to help. I've filed a bug with Ableton support some days back and no word yet.

Kind regards,

Matt

Using OS X 10.7.3 and Live 8.2.7 and it's as stable as ever! I had some weird crashing issues once, but I deleted the Live preferences and everything was fixed.
